I think that competitive eating is ridiculous , and the pictures of the faces of the competitors are downright disgusting. Of course this may go back to the 1940s annual fourth of July celebration in front of the volunteer fire company's firehouse and the blueberry pie eating contests.  No hands were allowed and the object was to see how much of the blueberry filling and pie crust the competitors could get smeared all over their clothing and faces.  In my list of stomach turning events involving food, competitive eating is right up there with talking with your mouth full and eating with your mouth open. End of rant. :angry:

Might be something to this. A scrawny girl won the hideous Wing Bowl this year.

That girl has won a boatload of these contests.  She can't weigh more than 110 pounds soaking wet.

Once upon a time I was the official photographer for a pie eating contest.  It was a political fundraising event.  Our candidate lost.

 

 

Edit:  Lost the election, that is.
